ELA- We are reading the text set for Animals of the Mojave and learning all sorts of fun and interesting facts about desert animals. We will take the assessment on Tuesday, then begin a short week learning about poetry. Students typically enjoy the poetry lessons and it's a fun break from the structure of informational text sets.
Math- We have started our first fraction topic and overall, I am pleased with the level of understanding the class has with the concept of "part of a whole" as well as dividing wholes into equal parts. Topic 12 has 8 lessons so the review will occur next Friday with the OPM the following week.
Math Facts- Please continue to work with your child on basic fact fluency. Flash cards or Boddle can help provide practice facts for your kiddo. Boddle, as well as Ascend Math can be found through Clever.
Home-School Talking Points-
1. We made special bracelets in class this week. What were they for?
2. The school is working on a brain booster goal. How have we done earning our points?
3. How many students have earned their cursive permits so far in our class? (about 25%)
4. How is your child's Canva project coming along? Have they recorded their voice yet?
Enjoy your 3-day weekend,
Ms. Stroud
